Tubing - The Scavenger Hunt Continues

I found two more parts from my SI that I removed many years ago. They are two tubes and I don't know where they go. I don't find them in the Parts List.
One had a rubber extension attached to it with fittings.
The other has a small rubber tube slid on one end.

Ideas,

Ken

The one with the rubber tube looks like a rear brake hose and pipe to a rear wheel cylinder.

Thanks but I don't think so. I've got all the tubing for my rear and front breaks. They were laying on a shelf near the intake manifold and carburetors.

The smaller diameter one is for connecting the distributor vacuum can to the vacuum port on the carburetor.

The larger one is for connecting the main oil gallery to the oil pressure gauge. Think you need more pieces to that puzzle for assembly.

Oh believe me Don, I've got more puzzle pieces than I know what to do with. Over the twenty five years of this project I've bought more stuff, some NOS. I don't know if I really needed them but I've got it and in some cases it just confuses the puzzle.

Just think about putting together a puzzle you started twenty five years ago and lost the box it came in. Also you discover you have more pieces than you need or perhaps not enough. Maybe the extra pieces are from an entirely different puzzle.

It is a fun adventure though, thanks to people like you. I really appreciate the input!

Or when I did it, by the time I got to putting the parts on - that I bought from Victoria British - I found they were wrong or garbage and long past VB's return policy. So no complaints from me that they went out of business.
